The Challenge

The key to successfully managing changes in an employee benefit program is good communication with employees. The complexity of Health Care Reform adds to that challenge – many employees know very little about how the new law will affect them. If the employer makes significant health plan changes, or stops offering a plan completely, the employer’s good will with employees could be threatened. An employer may also need to convey the value of its benefits program despite health plan changes, especially if the employer has to compete for employee talent.
